March 18, 1838 Dear Rigby,

Rigby, this is Ace Balthazar, your second cousin. I was just on the SS Forfarshire on the North Sea but we’ve had a tragic accident. It was a disaster. People were flinging off the boat so fast that it looked like they were flying. There were huge waves like as big as a mountain. I’m currently recovering in Dundee and not sure when I can get to you. I was in the basement when I heard the ship crash. When I got up to the deck, the ship was slanting upwards. I saw a lifeboat with three boys and a girl. Then I did the only thing I could do, I jumped. I was right on target until the lifeboat moved. I fell in the water, and it was freezing cold. I saw a rock and got on it. Luckily, the rock was protecting me from the waves. Then I saw a rowboat and toward it. This time, a man grabbed me and seated me on the boat. This man had a long beard and had yellow teeth. He was bald and had wrinkles. The girl had short hair with a purple shirt. The sea was rough but we finally made it to the lighthouse. This man and his daughter helped me and the other survivors recover from the ordeal. He gave us carrot soup and a massage. Yesterday I arrived in Dundee. I’m living in an inn. If you wish to see me, don’t travel near the North Sea. The inn is a nice place but it needs a lot of cleaning. Anyway, I’m going to have lunch. I will wait for your reply and I look forward to seeing you.

Your Friend,

Ace Balthazar

Dear Hayden,

FOR THE LAST TIME YOUR NAME IS NOT ACE BALTHAZAR ITS HAYDEN! Its annoying but its cool that you survived I thought you didn't survive because a sinking ship is really dangerous. Oh ya one more thing MY NAME IS NOT RIGBY!
